I would have shared the hell out of this meme on Facebook when I was ~18 years old.

As a person who has worked in telecom for over 15 years.....shhhhhhhhh.......
You like android better? Cool. You like IOS better? Cool. They do essentially the same thing in different ways with different pros and cons. What works best for one person may not be for someone else.
In 2024 if you're arguing on the internet (or perhaps worse, in real life) about which phone is better you need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and take an assessment of your priorities.
Also, because I love downvotes apparently, this also applies to windows/linux/mac OS. Unless I'm on my Mac like "Gee I sure wish this was more open source, if only there was an alternative." I don't need you telling me to switch to linux bro.
So do you whip out this copypasta anytime people try to have a fun discussion about something or?

It's a relevant topic to talk about. You wrote so much yet said nothing except I don't like seeing people talk down to apple users. Which i agree with a little but people will talk about relevant things like smart phone choice whether you like it or not.
Also have you tried switching to linux?

What about the need to tell others how to and what to discuss in their free time with their social circle? Can I do that?

Xperia 1 iii?
Give me all the hate. But my iPhone has outlasted all of my friends on android. I’m still using the iPhone X.
Now people who upgrade their phones yearly are wild to me.
Well, you have no reason to considering the innovations Apple provides are 3 years behind
Been using my redmi note 9 pro for 5 years now. It's not even 20 dollars.
Still using my Oneplus 6 from 2018. Lineage OS still getting updates.
Same. Lineage on a 2020 xiaomi phone

My note 9 from like 5 years ago still doing great. But I'm careful with it. I do think apple has sturdier construction.
60 Hz in 2024 is crazy, aside from the fact that iPhones have been the same for the past 6 generations.

iPhone Pro has been 120Hz for a while now. Also ~~bigger base level storage and~~ USB. If you want the fancy specs you get the fancier phone.
both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage
both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage
I stand corrected.
That said, if you up the price to match the pictured Xperia 1 iii ($1300 when new in 2021), the iPhone Pro (13 in 2021) will have 512GB (256GB for the Pro Max at $1200). Fancy price for a fancy phone.
At the end of the day people should just buy whatever phone fits their needs and their wallets, and let others do the same. Android phones are great. iPhones are great. We’re living in the future and other than the dystopian tendencies, it’s pretty awesome.
Just stating we shouldn’t have to pay over $1000 usd to get a 120hz display. This doesn’t justify it when you can buy phones with high refresh rate for $300
So buy the $300 phone! If the iPhone isn’t your cup of tea you don’t have to buy it. You’ll sacrifice some stuff to get the price point that low, but if they’re things you don’t want or need, awesome!
That Xperia 1 iii pictured? $1300 new in 2021.
